Well, I think we’ve already established that, but I feel like it’s official now that he’s sleeping in a big bed (as of one week ago)!
Background info: Chase has not been sleeping well (again) for the past several months. We noticed that he kept rolling over and smacking the sides of his crib in the night. So I thought, we might as well give him the upgrade to the big twin bed in the other bedroom. Maybe the roominess would help, and couldn’t hurt–I figured that he couldn’t sleep much worse than he already was, so why not??? And the good news is, he’s been sleeping a little better since he moved in there! He’s only been getting up 1-2 times per night now. Hey, every little improvement in that area helps!
Fortunately for us, the TParents had already bought Chase some car sheets, comforter, lamp, etc. last time they were here. We love them (the sheets AND the grandparents)! Chase has been so excited about this new bed and the new sheets and all. Every time I talk to someone about his new big bed, he says "Cars!" He is doing pretty well at sleeping in the bed– he hasn’t rolled out yet! Sometimes it’s hard to get him to stay in bed and calm down enough to go to sleep, but we’ve been following the Supernanny technique (from one of the most helpful tv shows ever) and it really works. What a cute boy this Chase kid is! He is a great talker and we have a lot of fun with him. He will be two years old next month… Can you believe it!? I can’t!
